Rome

Personal Series

Close-up of a building's facade with arched windows and circular architectural details, made of light-colored stone.

To be honest, I would never have chosen Rome on my own. I believed travel had to be distant, something larger, more exceptional… and I was wrong.

So close, so often told, the city revealed itself between stone and narrow streets, where history feels lived rather than monumental. Among ruins and everyday gestures, I felt unexpectedly at ease.

This trip reflects how discovery does not always require distance, sometimes, it begins much closer than we imagine.
